Meeting
A Star

On
Saturday morning at 9:30, I was walking down Sunda Street, looking for a record
store.

A
man stopped me and asked me the way to the Hyatt Hotel. I wasn't sure exactly
where it was, but I walked with him to the end of Sunda Street. He was very
friendly, and his face looked so familiar.

Then
I remembered where the Hyatt was and told him how to get there. He thanked me
and tried to give me something. I thought it was money. I said 'no' at first,
but he really wanted me to have it, so I took it.

I
found the record store and listened to a few records. D' Masive had a new record
that was number two in the top twenty. I decided to buy it. I looked in my bag
for my wallet and found a piece of paper the man gave me. It was a photo.

I
was so surprised! He was a singer in D' Masive!
